What Blaser Calibers?

.270
.300 Wby
9.3x62
Hopefully future purchases:
.22 LR
.257 Wby
..30/06
.375 H&H (rechambered to .375 Wby)
Possibly a .280 Rem, just because I love the round.
Get the .22lr! Plinking is how most of us started shooting. Going back to the little .22lr is really fun. It makes me feel like a kid, but with discretionary income, and a much nicer rifle.

Since the range is now open for the season (if it will only stop raining), this thread got me thinking about plopping down some $$$$$$$$ for another barrel. .22 LR it is!
Thanks Tra3 for helping me spend my money!

It is pretty unique with r8 that you can have same weight, fit, shoulder…but practice with 22lr.

Exactly! And the same reloading process, albeit a shorter stroke. We shot a lot of subsonic suppressed .22lr in the yard. The metal swinging target makes more noise than shooting.

The R8 with a .22lr barrel is a perfect introduction to shooting for a new person. After a few dozen rounds and the excitement of hitting a target. a person is interested (or at least receptive) to shoot something bigger. That system has helped me get new folks into hunting.

HI all, here is a Short update on our America trip, I currently in Houston and have 2 more meetings here before movings North toward Oklahoma, Missouri and Iowa, and from there I will head to Colorado and Idaho,I have been met with great hospitality and friendship, and have met several new and old clients and we are going to book the rest of 2025 season quick and have several dates booked for 2026!
That's a wrap, on our first hunt of this years season.

Hunting conditions are a bit tougher in South Africa during the month of February, but can be just as rewarding if done right.
